The capital of Plateau State, Jos, has witnessed protests Monday morning against the ongoing murders of native inhabitants by gunmen thought to be Fulani terrorists.
Beginning Monday morning at the Fawvwei Junction community road, the protests, which were spearheaded by Christian leaders such as Rev. Polycarp Lubo, the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, caused severe traffic jams and left commuters stranded.
The latest protest comes amid a surge in violent attacks by gunmen in various communities, with over 100 people killed in Bokkos and Bassa LGAS in the past two weeks.
“We are not happy over the continuous attacks and killings by gunmen in our communities. That’s why we have come out again to protest these happenings,” said Gyang Dalyop, one of the protesters.
